In the digital age, the marketing industry is booming, and companies big and small are outsourcing their marketing efforts to stay ahead of their competition.

As a client, you need to have a clear indication on how your marketing agency is working for your business.  Knowing if they are invested in you and your success is perhaps the most important question you need to ask!

Knowing the difference between an agency that is invested in your success vs. invested only in making profits is important to know when selecting the perfect marketing agency for your business.

Here are four quick tips to pick the marketing agency that is the right fit for your business:

1. They Know You and Your Business Goals – Does your marketing company network?  Are they visible, and have you seen their work?  A great marketing agency is highly visible.  They aren’t afraid to provide references or to showcase their work.  They take time to get to know their clients and their goals to see how they can offer support, and they don’t try to impress their own agenda; instead they help your business streamline its short and long-term goals.

2. They Are Transparent – Do you know your agency’s business practices, like the types of clients they represent and billing practices?  There’s nothing worse than not knowing where your hard earned dollars are going.  In addition to being visible, a marketing agency should be transparent; having no issues or barriers to sharing their business or billing practices.  They should be able to easily illustrate how entering into a business relationship can benefit YOUR  business and help YOU meet your goals.  A great marketing agency can show how your investment will be put to work and what it will yield.

3. They Implement Improvements – If a marketing agency thinks they are perfect and do not see a need for any improvements, they are likely more interested in their profits over yours. A great marketing agency is constantly implementing business and industry improvements to stay current in the changing industry, because the landscape is always changing!  A great marketing agency is open to constantly evolving their business, implementing new innovations, and constructive feedback in order to serve their clients better.

4. They Are Fillers – Choosing a marketing agency is a integral part of your business’ success!  They should fill in the areas where your business needs more resources and expertise, and a great marketing agency should not redefine your goals; they should enhance them.
